Governor Ivey Signs on to Joint US-Canada Governors & Premiers Letter on Truckers

MONTGOMERY-Governor Ivey has signed on to a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Joe Biden asking them to immediately reinstate the vaccine and quarantine exemptions available to cross border truck drivers.

The letter is attached. The governor also issued the following comment:

“The truck drivers we have seen peacefully protesting in Canada simply want common sense reinstated and freedoms protected. I support them and am joining my fellow governors in calling on Prime Minister Trudeau and President Biden to immediately allow exemptions for cross border truck drivers. These types of unnecessary mandates would continue to exacerbate supply chain and economic issues.” – Governor Kay Ivey
